Voted the funniest person of the millennium in a BBC poll, the late, great Spike Milligan remains an inspiration to a new generation of comedians. This DVD of 'The Life And Legacy Of Spike Milligan' is the extended version of director Cathy Henkel's 2005 documentary featuring interviews with family, friends, and colleagues who reveal Spike as a brilliant but tortured man, treading a thin line between genius and debilitating depression.
Performance footage, previously unseen home movies, and contributions from the likes of Michael Palin, Eddie Izzard, and Eric Sykes all help to paint an intimate and deeply personal portrait of the man widely considered to be the godfather of alternative comedy.
